Isoplexis sceptrum “Madeiran Foxglove” “Bush Foxglove”

Rare & spectacular! And aren’t we lucky, cause this native of Madeira thrives best in a mild coastal climate like ours! Forming a bushy, evergreen shrub, 4’ tall & 3’ across, it displays luxurious, large, lance-shaped leaves with serrated edges, borne on clusters at branch ends. For a long period in Summer, the striking upright flower spikes appear, each 15” long & bearing flared, tubular, rusty apricot, “foxglove” blooms. Nice in a large container as well as a sunny to part-shady garden. Rich, moist soil is best.
